Team manager Christian Horner (50) was acquitted of allegations of inappropriate behavior towards a female employee at Red Bull and was therefore allowed to continue in his job.
He has always denied that he has done anything wrong.
– Red Bull feels confident that the investigation has been fair, strict and impartial, it was said in a press release after the internal investigation.
Furthermore, it was stated that the woman, who has never been named, has the right to appeal the decision.
She and Horner have signed a so-called non-disclosure agreement, and therefore cannot comment publicly on the matter.
The scandal comes on TV
– Impossible to understand
The English BBC writes that she can only talk to her father and brother, according to a friend who does not want to be named.
– It is impossible for people to understand how it is for her. She can’t talk and she doesn’t want to talk, claims the friend and continues:
– But I can tell what it does to her. Every time I have asked her something about it, she breaks down in tears and says that she has no one to talk to, because she is not allowed.
May disappear
– Very upset
According to The Telegraaf, Horner must have crossed the line towards the employee in connection with the Alpine World Cup in Kitzbühel. According to the major German newspaper Bild, Horner is said to have sent inappropriate photos to her.
The case has received wide coverage in the media worldwide, and reached a final conclusion at the end of February.
– She is very upset, very angry, very scared, very frightened, very lonely. And I think it’s impossible for people to understand what it’s like for her without walking in her shoes, claims the friend.
